"On Intelligence will have a big impact; everyone should read it. In the same way that Erwin Schrodinger's 1943 classic What is Life? made how molecules store genetic information then the big problem for biology, On Intelligence lays out the framework for understanding the brain."
- James D. Watson, president, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Nobel laureate in physiology
"A landmark book. On Intelligence is the first clear exposition of what could be the long-awaited 'great general theory' of human brain function. Loaded with intelligence, insight and wisdom, it's a wonderfully readable account of the fundamental principles of the brain by a great American original."
- Mike Merzenich, professor of neuroscience, University of California, San Francisco
"Brilliant and embued with startling clarity. On Intelligence is the most important book in neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence in a generation."
- Malcolm Young, professor of biology and provost, University of Newcastle
"Read this book. Burn all the others. It is original, inventive, and thoughtful, from one of the world's foremost thinkers. Jeff Hawkins will change the way the world thinks about intelligence and the prospect of intelligent machines."
- John Doerr, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
